Personally if I were buying a wagon just for practical use, I'd get a 2 or 3 year old V90 for about 40k. Those suckers are very premium feeling and quiet inside. No dramatics involved.

We have an Outback. My wife is as much of a manual Nazi as me, so when wagon shopping it basically became the default for bit "wagon" that has a manual.
It's an awful manual, but it's still a manual lol.
Space is amazing. It beats most crossovers for usable space. Can put a full size hitch on, which is great for bikes or a utility trailer. Roof bars are handy.
It's a total Camry SUV. The only thing fun about it is taking it out in a huge dump of snow and doing donuts.
Resale is good. Parts are cheap. It's easy to work on. I made it from Calgary to Whistler on a single tank.
All around "fine".
If the V90 was an option at the time, I absolutely would have tried to go in that direction.
